Linda Bailey Stanley’s Wild Ride illus. by Bill Slavin. 29 pp. / Kids Can Press 2006 ISBN 1-55337-960-8 $14.95 (Primary)
Stanley is a dog who is sick of being cooped up in his backyard and wants to explore the outside world beyond his fence. When he finally realizes a way out he joins some friends and they all go on a wild adventure across town. Slavin’s fine use of acrylics on gessoed paper illustrates the movement, texture and shadows perfectly throughout the book. Stanley’s Wild Ride is fun and exciting, making the reader eager to turn the page, only to find out what will happen next to Stanley and his friends. Stanley’s Wild Ride is a short story with great pictures and is a great choice for anyone looking to go on an adventure and explore the outside world.
